Solved: The Raattama Corporation had sales of 3 5 million

last year and

The Raattama Corporation had sales of $3.5 million last year, and it earned a 5% return (after
taxes) on sales. Recently, the company has fallen behind in its accounts payable. Although its
terms of purchase are net 30 days, its accounts payable represent 60 days’ purchases. The
company’s treasurer is seeking to increase bank borrowings in order to become current in
meeting its trade obligations (that is, to have 30 days’ payables outstanding). The company’s
balance sheet is as follows (in thousands of dollars):

a. How much bank financing is needed to eliminate the past-due accounts payable?
b. Assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a. The terms of the loan
offered are 8%, simple interest, and the bank uses a 360-day year for the interest calculation.
What is the interest charge for one month? (Assume there are 30 days in a month.)
c. Now ignore part b and assume that the bank will lend the firm the amount calculated in part a.
The terms of the loan are 7.5%, add-on interest, to be repaid in 12 monthly installments.
1. What is the total loan amount?
2. What are the monthly installments?
3. What is the APR of the loan?
4. What is the effective rate of the loan?
d. Would you, as a bank loan officer, make this loan? Why or whynot?
